Here's a quicker but probably more indirect way of solving the last (Wombat & Koala) problem using Ratios, Initially, w : k was 3 : 1. Then, w : k + 5 is 3 : 2, since the addition of 5 increase our ratio by one point, 5 is our multiplier. Therefore w = 3 x 5 = 15 and k = 1 x 5 = 5.

Just my preference, but I chose to work with one variable for all of these questions. Thank you for the practice.

Easy doesn't mean simple. So, we should better say that it was simple ☺
